Rob Pardo, (1) is a top video game designer, says
video gaming should be included in the Olympics.
Video gaming, (2) is also known as e-sport, is
a proper sport because it is very competitive and
requires very specific skills. Pardo, (3) idea of sport
is broader than most people’s, agrees that e-sports
don’t take a lot of physical effort, but, he adds, the
same can be said of some of the sports events (4)
we watch in the Olympics. In addition, e-sports attract
millions of spectators. In Seoul, (5) major e-sports
finals often take place, 40,000 people have filled
the Sangam Stadium. Having a sport admitted in
the Olympics is quite difficult, as chess players have
discovered. But Pardo says that video gaming is
different from chess – a ‘mind’ sport (6) has never
been allowed in the Olympics – although it needs
strategic thinking and quick reactions. However,
those (7) disagree with Pardo claim that being a
spectator sport is not enough and a very popular sport
like cricket is not included in the Olympics. Nor are
motor sports, like motor racing, (8) also requires
excellent reflexes and attracts big crowds. Pardo and
his supporters should organise a separate international
competition only for e-sports (9) could follow a
format like the Olympics and (10) gaming would be
the main event, and not simply one of many sports.
